Energy for Tomorrow makes it easy to make a difference in the environment by increasing electricity production from energy
sources such as wind and solar. As a We Energies electric customer, you can participate
in this voluntary program that not only increases use of renewable energy but also reduces greenhouse gas emissions produced by fossil fuels.
How it works
- Choose amount. You can participate at a 25, 50 or 100% level. We produce or purchase renewable energy to match that
percent of your electricity use, which replaces equal amounts of electric generation from traditional sources. Participation does not
impact electric service reliability.
- Pay additional charge per kilowatt-hour (kWh). Because renewable energy costs more to produce than energy generated from
traditional sources, the price is slightly higher. We use the premium to produce or purchase renewable energy and to enroll new participants.
660 kWh is the average monthly use for a We Energies residential customer. Here is a comparison of additional charges for 660 kWh
at the various participation levels (actual monthly charges vary based on usage):
- 25% Level ($0.00502/kWh): $3.31
- 50% Level ($0.01004/kWh): $6.63
- 100% Level ($0.02007/kWh): $13.25

- These figures reflect the actual resource mix of electricity delivered to Energy for Tomorrow customers in 2021.
- These figures reflect the renewables that we have contracted to provide in 2022. Actual figures may vary according to resource availability.
- New renewables come from generation facilities that first began commercial operation in the past 15 years.
- For comparison, the current average mix of resources supplying the United States includes:
natural gas (40%), coal (19%), nuclear (19%), and renewables (21%). This resource mix is
for 2020 as detailed by the U.S. Energy Information Agency.
Energy for Tomorrow is Green-e certified and meets the environmental and consumer protection standards set forth by the nonprofit Center for Resource Solutions.
